NetEase Games and Naked Rain's highly anticipated Project Mugen has been officially unveiled as Ananta, a vibrant urban open-world RPG. A new promotional video and teaser trailer showcase the game's captivating world, diverse characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces.
The preview offers a glimpse into Nova City, the sprawling metropolis players will explore. A diverse cast of characters battles formidable enemies from beyond, promising exciting gameplay.
While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself with unique movement mechanics. The PV highlights impressive traversal abilities, leaving open the question of whether exploration will span seamlessly across the city or be confined to specific instances. The game maintains the appealing blend of charming characters and dynamic combat prevalent in modern 3D RPGs.
Fluid Movement and Exploration
The PV's impressive display of movement is a standout feature. The extent of free-roaming exploration within Nova City remains to be seen – whether players will enjoy truly fluid, Spider-Man-style movement across the cityscape or if traversal will be more segmented.
While similarities to MiHoYo's Genshin Impact are apparent, Ananta aims to carve its own niche in the 3D gacha RPG market. Its success hinges on its ability to stand apart and potentially challenge the reigning champions of the genre.
